Talisa ChangAugust 19, 2012Come hungry and with a group! Ask the waitress for recs. Def get the braised cabbage, steamed meat dumplings, and cold noodle soup. Cucumber, eggplant, fish hye salad, and pumpkin samsas were great.
Untapped CitiesJanuary 18, 2018Salads in Central Asian restaurants are a mixture of Central Asian, traditional Russian, and Korean salads. Order the Chim-Chee, more commonly known as Korean Kim-Chee, spicy pickled cabbage. Read more
JeffreyAugust 31, 2014Try the plov (lamb-mingled rice pilaf) and the flaky-crusted samsa filled with minced lamb and onion or the chilled Korean beef-noodle soup, kuksu, with cucumber, cabbage, shredded omelette, and dill.
Robert PomerantsMay 6, 2013As sketchy as it may seem, the food was some of the best Russian/Korean cuisine I have ever had. The prices were fair and the service was great. I felt like I was eating at my great grandma's house.
Village VoiceNovember 26, 2012Mind boggling fusion inhabits the Best of NYC Critics' choice winner for best Uzbeki-Korean! Go for the most Korean sounding stuff. We recommend the Kuksu or the hye, a sort of ceviche.
Maya BruckJuly 5, 2015Everything was fantastic. Wasn't expecting such a satisfying meal. Highly recommend the pumpkin samsa, the beef manti, the eggplant salad, and kuksu. Yum!
Dave SAugust 29, 2016Korean + Uzbek! Get the Yuksu (chilled beef noodle soup), Manti (dumplings), and ask for all three of the homemade hot sauces.
Veronika SonsevJuly 5, 2014Elza was great! Loved the chicken tabaka, lamb kabob and Korean carrot salad. Great, healthy food, simple atmosphere and reasonably priced.
JoyceApril 24, 2017Eggplant hye is my favorite, but lagman is super warm and yummy. The kimchi is the right amount of sour for my taste!!- Robyn GrierApril 26, 2015Manti (dumplings filed with beef and onion) and Korean carrot salad were excellent, as was our awesomely chilled-out trilingual waiter.
Marina B.April 22, 2014Delicious Korean-Uzbek restaurant. Get the Kuksy, Korean carrot salad and the fern salad!
Chris GampatOctober 8, 2017Meat crepes and the buns. Get them. Also the peach lemonade tastes like cream soda.- JoyceFebruary 9, 2017Eggplant hye & lagman, but i definitely want the stomach to try all the side dishes!!
- Dmitriy SokolDecember 31, 2012Awesome Uzbek food and Asian fusion in general. Must try when in Little Odessa.

Clyde Erwin BarrettoAugust 5, 2011After having been here once, I want to go here again. The beef here is great!
- Clyde Erwin BarrettoAugust 4, 2011Just the fact it mixes Korean food with Russian makes this place "worth" it.
Javlon TApril 18, 2016Come here for soviet-korean food. Go somewhere else for Uzbek food. Pilaf was underwhelming.
